Five Fall 2025 Fashion Trends For Knitters & Crocheters

Five Fall 2025 Fashion Trends For Knitters & Crocheters

For me, tracking trends is just another inspirational jumping-off point and a potential conversation starter. The really fun part, though, is finding connections in the maker world that bridge the gap between fashion and craft.

Recently, Cosmopolitan Magazine published an article on Fall 2025’s Biggest Fashion Trends that’s jam-packed with crossover trends that work for us knitters and crocheters. Here are a handful of my design ideas for projects you can hand-knit (no needles), traditionally knit (with needles), and crochet along with Fall 2025 trends

Faux-sure Fur

•Fur-bag Cross-body Purse
Knit without needles in a double strand of KnitPicks Fairy Tale Fur, lined, zipped, and topped off with faux-leather handles, you’ve met your new favorite, Fur-bag! Get the pattern in my forthcoming book, No Needles Knitting (Quarry Books, Nov. ’25). 

•So Fluffy Throw
Never knit before? No problem! Knitting with your hands is easy, and when you do it using super soft, KnitPicks Fairy Tale fur, it’s also a sensorial delight. This pattern is also available in No Needles Knitting. Pre-Order now!

All of the Dots!

•Bubbly Cowl
Knit in-the-round, with a ribbed edging, Stockinette stripes, contrasting colored bobbles. Get the pattern HERE, or the Quince & Co. collab kit HERE.

• In Circles Tote 
A series of short-row, Garter stitch circles come together to create a spot-on bag! Get the free pattern on my blog, HERE.

Mixing to the Max

•Swatch Shrug
Use every swatch & the kitchen sink to make a sustainable shrug that mixes patterns like a boss! Get instructions on how to create your own Franken-shrug on my blog, HERE.

•Layered Lines Cowl
Plaid is rad. Full stop. Your knitting can be too, when you make this graphic cowl. Knit in Garter stitch stripes with a mosaic knit edging, the plaid makes its mark woven in by hand. Get the pattern in my shop HERE, or for free with an accompanying e-Course with a membership to my community, Stitchwell Social Club.

•Snow Leopard Bonnet
The cutest little kitty cat will be your kiddo in the Snow Leopard, knit bonnet. This pattern is from my baby knitwear book, Wee Garter Stitch, which is out of print, but available online.

•Striped Infinity Scarf
I wouldn’t want to live in a world where black and white stripes ever went out of style. Fortunately, thus far, that hasn’t happened. The Striped Infinity Scarf is part of the curriculum of my Intro to Knitting Class for Brit+Co. It’s knit in simple, 1×1 rib stitch with Valley Yarns Superwash Super Bulky yarn. The splash of color comes courtesy of one of my shade collaborations, Aqua Oasis. 

•Sunburst Summer Scarf
A crocheted granny square makes me happy. Add a sunburst motif to it, and it becomes downright delightful. The Sunburst Summer Scarf is crocheted in Mad Tosh Merino Light, making it the perfect weight for the warmer months. Get the pattern on my blog HERE.

Hi-Lo Loungewear

All the cool kids are comfy with this chic, loungewear trend!

•Greensleeves Jacket
This zippered piece is inspired by a tracksuit jacket, but with a knitter’s spin. Greensleeves is one of my designs from AwareKnits, the book I co-wrote with Adrienne Armstrong.

•Starburst Cloud Poncho
Embrace the coming cold weather and crochet yourself something truly stunning this winter! The Starburst Cloud Poncho is loose and oversized in fit and can be worn as a sweater or layered as a jacket. The pattern and the Spun Cloud yarn it’s crocheted with can be on the Knit Collage site. 
 

•Chunky Fringed Shawl
Here’s another Knit Collage collab stunner! This shawl is one of my favorites to cuddle up with when I need something to keep me cozy. It’s the long, braided fringe, though, that really makes this project special. The crochet pattern is free on my blog HERE.
